Nick Sirianni Continues To Morph Into The Human Embodiment Of Philadelphia With Obnoxious 'Tush Push' Defense
Nick Sirianni is so Philadelphia it hurts. From the moment he was hired as the Eagles' head coach in January 2021 it was abundantly clear that he was a perfect fit culturally, and each and every week since he's been on the scene he's somehow become more and more Philly scumbag.
Any of you jawns who want to act offended by a kid from Tennessee writing 'Philly scumbag,' get over it. I lived there for 18 months and paid taxes. Also, Philly natives love being talked about poorly more than they like being complimented.
With Sirianni, we're talking about an upstate New York guy who won three national championships as a wide receiver at a Division III school and played a season in the American Indoor Football League before deciding to get into coaching.
He's obnoxious, unbelievably confident, and would happily get into a fight with anyone inside The Linc at any given time.
Nick Siriannia looks and acts like the guy a director would cast to play the Eagles' head coach in a movie. The title of the film would of course be 'The Jawn Who Led The Birds.'
Sirianni's postgame press conference following the Eagles' 31-17 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night felt like a cut scene in a video game.
The Eagles ran their 'tush push' play approximately 87 times against the Dolphins and were successful on each and every attempt. The play is controversial due to the fact that 300-pound linemen are diving directly at opposing player's knees, which the nasty nature of it all just screams Philly, and Sirianni absolutely loves it.
There have been multiple reports and rumors that the NFL could ban the play next season because of health and safety concerns. Sirianni obviously doesn't want to see that happen, but he also wants the rest of the league to know that they're just upset because they can't execute it like the Eagles can.
This man sought out a camera during his postgame presser and repeated the message "if everybody could do it, everybody would do it."
The smug grin he has on his face after his ploy to the camera is just so perfectly Philly. I can not fathom the words that will come out of this man's mouth if he coaches the Eagles' to a Super Bowl title.
I don't want to see this man give a celebration speech on the Rocky steps after drinking approximately 27 beers, I need to see it.
